a representative from Haskins & Sells, Certified Public Ac-

Gentlemen: — 

We beg to transmit herewith our estimate of school ex- 
penditures, as revised by the Bureau of Municipal Research, 
which you will note amounts to $540,603.00. 

Our requirements from the city are as follows 

From the State and County $250,000.00 

From the City - 290,603.00 

$540,603.00 

The amount required from the city includes the amount 
due the School Board on account of the Real and Personal 
Property Taxes for 1908. 

You will notice that no provision has been make in the 
budget for interest on bonds or payment to the sinking fund to 
retire same at maturity, which has heretofore been paid from 
school revenues. The law provides that such charges shall be 
paid from the city's general funds and not from the school 

funds. 

Yours truly, 

G. B. Malone, President,
